The California Highway Patrol said the driver of a Cadillac was going west on Highway 12, just west of Interstate 5, when a Toyota pickup crossed the double-yellow lines and hit the car head-on at about 1:30 a.m.

Officers said the Cadillac spun off the road, but the pickup kept going and hit a Volkswagen that was following the Cadillac.

The driver of the Volkswagen suffered broken bones and other non-life-threatening injuries.

According to officers, the driver of the Cadillac died immediately at the crash site.

The driver of the Toyota, who suffered a broken back and possible broken legs, was being watched at a county hospital.
